Attempting to add Laps to a player

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

What I am attempting to achieve

In the past couple days, I have been attempting to make a Laps system where a player, if they cross the start/finish line and if they touched a checkpoint (which triggers a boolean value to true if they touched the checkpoint), they would add one lap to the player (which sets that same boolean value to false).

Issue

I don't know how to add the laps to the player once the player touches the start/finish line. My script is inside the FinishLine part. 
local FinishLine = script.Parent
local hasHitCheckPoint = workspace.Checkpoint.hasHitCheckpoint


FinishLine.Touched:Connect(function(otherPart)
	local partParent = otherPart.Parent
    local humanoid = partParent:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid")
		if (humanoid and hasHitCheckPoint.Value == true) then
		hasHitCheckPoint.Value = false
		if hasHitCheckPoint.Value == false then
			-- Do this
		end
	end
end)

Keep in mind that Laps is an IntValue and is within the leaderstats folder.

To add a value to the leaderstats, you would find the leaderstats value you are looking for, in this case, Laps.

EDIT: This goes inside the script where you put the comment “–Do this”

First you need to find the player.

local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(partParent)

Then find the leaderstat and add one to it.

local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(partParent)
local stat = player:WaitForChild('leaderstats'):WaitForChild('Laps')

stat.Value = stat.Value+1

EDIT: Also don’t forget the debounce. Since this is a server script I would advise keeping a table with players who are in the debounce list and removing them after around 1 second.

So it could look something like:

local debounceGroup = {}

local function updateDebounceGroup(player)
     if debounceGroup[player] then
         debounceGroup[player] = nil
     else
          debounceGroup[#debounceGroup+1] = player
     end
end

Firstly u need a debounce in that or u r gonna have players getting hundreds of points very quickly, secondly you would do:

game.players[hit.Parent.Name].leaderstats.Laps.Value = game.players[hit.Parent.Name].leaderstats.Laps.Value + 1

In line 7 of my code, it detects if a Humanoid touched it and if a BoolValue is true. No need for a debounce.

if (humanoid and hasHitCheckPoint.Value == true) then -- If a humanoid touches the part AND if a BoolValue is true, do this.
